The exact change
পানি pani is standard in Bangladesh and is derived from a Persian loanword.
পানি pani is standard in Bangladesh; both পানি pani and জল jôl trace back to Sanskrit roots, with pani considered by linguists to be the older, original Bengali form.
Why this is better
The FAQ claims পানি (pani, water, used in Bangladesh) is 'derived from a Persian loanword.' This is false: পানি pani is inherited from Sanskrit पानीय (pānīya, 'water, drink'), the same Indo-Aryan root
